death It was of these parents that Abraham Llncoln was born on the 12th of February 1809 It was not from hls father however that Lmcoln mherxted any of h1s remarkable tralts Hxs physlcal appearance and ablhty were all that he mherlted from hxm The tenderness and reverence of hls spxrxt and the thoughtful sadness of hxs dxsposltlon he no doubt recelved from hrs mother He always loved h1s mother dearly and after her death he cherlshed her memory and always kept her teachlngs 111 heart and actxon Her death xtself whxle It was a terrxble blow to h1m made a great xmpresslon on his ltfe and probably drove home her lessons wlth a truer thrust than a longer hfe would have Another factor m the makmg of the great character was hls wonderful open mmdedness and h1s deslre to learn and to lmprove hlmself Thls glft seems to have been wxth hmm all h1s lxfe As a small boy he showed hxmself eager to learn new thmgs Words llke mdependent and predestmatxon bothered the boy He would ask what they meant and then l1e awake at night a long tlme thmkmg about the meanmg of the meanmg As he grew older h1s mother folmd tune among the tolls and struggles of her busy lxfe to teach hun readmg and wrmng And soon after that he dlscovered the unllmxted value of books as a way of getting the deslred mformatxon He began reading all the books he could find and what nooks he found merely increased hrs longmg for them For a long txme the only ones he had were the Bxble Washmgton These had a profound mfluence on hlm He read them many txmes and seemed to absorb them xnto h1s own hfe He began to g'o to much trouble just to get new books There are many instances of hrs walkmg long dxstances Just to borrow a book and of how he read by Iirelxght far 11110 the nlght He was often heard to remark The things I want to know are in books my best fr1end IS the man who ll get me a book I amt read He loved books he became 1nt1mate wlth them and he seemed to make them tell hlm more than they told other people Probably because he felt the scarcity of them m hxs youth he was later able to love and appreclate them more As a boy he lxved m close communxon wxth nature and had llttle contact wlth hxs fellow bemgs Day after day he went alone lnto the forest and chopped all day wxthout seemg anyone untll he returned home to hrs famlly at nlght All day he heard no ClVlllZ8d sound save that of hls own axe He lxved wxth the sllence of the wxlderness and came to love xt lt became deeply mgramed m hls soul He learned to love the creatures of the wlld and to apprec1ate the beaut1es of nature And xt ns mterestlng to note of thxs great yet szmple man that though he could have done so wlth llttle trouble he would never shoot an ammal for game The elements of h1.s greatness were vlsible even then The boy who was true to duty patlent ln prxvatxon modest 111 spmrit klnd to all distresses and suffermgs he met determlned to use by wrestmg opportunxties from the grudgmg hand of fate was sure to make a man dlstmguxshed among his fellows and noted among the great men of the world He had had his heart set on golng to school at Columbxa he had It all arranged so that he could work hls way But

foster mo'he1 Sarah Bush later said of him He never gave me a cross word or look he was always ready to run an errand or do some chore for me I-Ie was the best boy I ever saw Lincoln tried to improve himself in early life by cultivating acquamtances with cultured and thoughtful people When he talked with such people the words education and knowledge were often on his lips He had the gift of asking people questions and quietly drawing out of them all they knew on a subject It vxas said that he could pump a. man dry on any subJect he was interested in As a young man before he entered law he stayed over a. year at a tavern run by the Onstotts and they gave this description of his life and traits at that time He never drank smoked or chewed the nearest he ever came to swearing was once when he blurted out By J ing' He neither fished nor hunted and he was the champion wrestler and crowbar thrower He was a favorite with all kinds of people and he was always ready to accommodate in any way he could The simplicity of Abraham Lincoln which marked all h1s speeches and wntmgs as well as his private life and wh1ch was probably his chief quality was especially noticeable in him at this tlme He could explain comphcated problems to unlearned people so that they could understand readily He made a practlce of gathering stories to tell and he used them continually ively 1n his talks and writings to illustrate and emphasize his point No matter how high he rose he put his faith m the common people and looked to them for support He said God must have loved the common people he made so many of them Everything he did as president he tried to perform clearly and simply and explain it so that the people would understand Now keeping m mind that while 1t was the man who made the unpression on the world it was the youth who molded the character which made this possible let us conclude The world is Just getting to where It can deeply appreciate this great man Probably he can not yet be fully appreciated The further we travel down the years away from him the better we are able to see him in a clear full picture and realize the lmmensxty of the man As he dominated in phys1ca1 power about his native town so he later dominated over the world through the universal appeal of his personality And as he traveled through life with malice toward none and wlth charity for all his memory and miluence go marching down the years and we are ready to credit him with the title he so much deserves Lincoln Man For The Ages OH, SPRING I LOVE YOU EVEN THOUGH By Gould Griffith Oh

THE BURTONIAN SUGARIN' By Wlllls Hard The sugarmaker has to begln to make preparatlons for Sugarlng ln the late fall or early wlnter before the snow covers the ground Hls first step IS to gather the wood saw and store It ln the sugarhouse so as to have It dry when the tlme comes to use lt In the sprlng when sugarlng tlme comes the buckets are taken out of the sugarhouse and scattered about the sugar orchard so as to be near the trees that are to be tapped The evaporator pans are set and the smoke stack IS put up so as to be ready to boll the sap lnto syrup The trees are now tapped To tap a. tree a hole IS bored lnto the trunk and a sap spout IS drlven mto the hole CA sap spout IS a hollow plece of steel wlth a hook on lt J The bucket IS hung on the hook and a cover IS put onto the bucket to keep out the raln or snow The sap comlng up the trunk to go to the llmbs comes out the sap spout and drlps lnto the bucket When the bucket lS nearly full a. large square tank mounted on a sled IS drawn about the sugar orchard The men gather the sap ln large palls and these are emptled lnto the tank Whlch holds about five barrels When thls tank IS full It IS taken to the sugarhouse where the sap IS run mto large storage tubs through a long plpe with a felt stralner on the end of It to catch any bark or other partlcles From the storage tank the sap IS run through a. large plpe mto the first pan of the evaporator Perhaps before I go farther I should tell more about the constructlon of the evaporator It IS a large galvanlzed heater one end of whlch SltS upon a brlck arch The flames from the ire ln the arch go through a flue under the evaporator untll they reach the smokestack at the rear end Our evaporator lS about slxteen feeft long and five feet Wlde The amount of sap to be let dlVlded lnto four sectlons ln these the sap IS heated and bolled only a little The syrup pan IS dlVlded lnto slx sectlons each sectlon contalnlng sweeter sap untll It IS syrup From the last sectlon the syrup IS drawn out through a faucet Some syrup IS stralned through felt stralners when lt IS taken from the evaporator and then put ln cans It IS then ready for sale Some syrup IS sugared off at the sugarhouse When thls IS done the syrllp 1S bolled u.ntll lt reaches the rlght number of degrees to make sugar and candy To make first grade syrup all the utenslls must be clean and the sap must be bolled soon after lt runs from the trees When the sugarlng season IS nI1lSh6d the buckets are gathered and the sap spouts pulled out of the trees These are carrled to the sugarhouse where they are washed It usually takes a day to wash the buckets sap spouts evaporator pans and other utenslls These are then put up stalrs 111 the sugarhouse and thlngs are ready for use durlng the next sugar season THE EXPLANATION By Mlldred Bentley George M8ldlSOD was rather of the oplnlon that Marlon Jeson had thrown hlm down but he was not quite sure He had known her lt seemed to hlm for always and for some tlme he had been taklng It for granted that he would some day ask her to be hls wlfe and she would accept But then 32 ' ' A into the two pans is gauged by floats between the pans.

But It wouldn t make any dimer ence lf I dld thought George Marlon 18 so much the prettler Things dragged along ln thls manner for some time George began to lose weight 'He dont eat enough to keep a canary 31lV6 hls mother declared Then one day to hls great surprise Farnum called upon George at the oflice of the llttle yarn mlll whlch Joe had lnherlted from hls father a.nd the business of which he was rapidly extendlng You probably have notlced he sald my attentlons to the beautiful Miss J eson I have replied George I have and allow me to tell you that I have not seen them with pleasure Who are you to come into thls community and try to capture the best and prettiest girl ln town 'That IS just what I came to show you replied Farnum You may look me up ln Bradstreets and here are letters documents and references whlch I thmk wlll satlsfy you K 6 . . y .
